Bovine Mortality Reduction Plan 2010

[Potjeh]

I only use my best cow for breeding. Yeah, I'm at like 60 milk q while some other people in the village have broken 100, but it's less stressful, milk q isn't really *that* important in cheese q, and I can just grab one of the outdated cows from somebody else if I really have to upgrade.

My sheep and pigs, on the other hand, are top notch. Got a piglet with 60 meat quantity the other day, I wonder if anyone has better.

I have one with Q44 but I haven't really bothered with pigs since I never planned on making many beer sausages (even though they are kinda great).
Cattle is a fun little metagame though!

I've actually been eating a lot of baloney lately. It's nice for filling in that last bit of the bar, but the main reason I make them is to save intestines, so I can make more chicken chorizo (never enough intestines for that).

all my female pigs died

Do you, uh...is there a reason you don't have beehives?

[Thurrok]

Beehives:

a) suck
b) decay
c) are bugged
d) don't matter if I only harvest every ~20 days
e) cost straw. Seen any straw nearby?

they just need to give birth once

I know little about this mechanism as before I started massproducing cheese, I never bothered to check for milk and just raised q. Recently, however, I got a fuckton of cows that weren't pregnant (or haven't been - don't know). After introducing them to a new bull, they started eating like they were on speed, until I had to split with my good-ole internet connection and couldn't care about them anymore. They died, their children grew up (somehow) and got fucked by their fathers and produced offspring and starved shortly afterwards. I guess, we could say I cycle them very often. It would be of interest to me, however, how long a cow gives milk after having given birth. Does it do so forever, or just for a limited time span? I've been told both, but never had a chance to try and now I'm curious.

Cows keep giving milk till they die.

And Sab, if you're still playing and you don't mind walking, I could hook you up with a sow
